In which she gives flying the full five-finger salute.

When flying out of the Atlanta airport last week, I noticed zero difference from any other security line. No enhanced x-rays and no patdowns were visible; the line wasn't even slow

What a coincidence!

Oh, no! Thank goodness your brother is an officer.

Your timing is funny---at around the time you were posting this, I was finally breaking into the chocolate. I opened the blue one first, since I don't feel like eating te baby candy quite yet!

Huh. I never knew your brother was named Bheansidhe.

Hnh. That's less invasive than every single pat down I've ever had when traveling in my chair and NOT able to walk through the damn detector. That to avoid it now I'll have to manage to walk through in a specific posture with my hands held over my head has me very upset. If I had the time to drive to Seattle instead of flying out this spring, I would.

In short, it sounds very much like you lucked out.

Terrorist in a chair

AMEN, when travelling in my chair for the past year or so, they get VERY personal, without the courtesy "hey I am about to get to second base with ya, and just nudge third." On the return flight, I even told them, hey, I *DO* have the capacity to stand, that just seemed to freak them out.

So the new rules, so far as they might be, just means, in a weird way, that bi-peds now are having the same "treatement" as the gimps....ain't that an odd thing to balance??

Thank you for pointing this out. Now I have more food for thought.

Yeah they failed to accomplish anything other than annoy you.

So that was a waste of time, money, and civil liberties all around.

Sorry, hon, about this and the next thing.
